When Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields bring their Dead Man’s Bones project to your town, they aren’t coming alone. Oh no. On their very first tour, scheduled for this October, the actor/musician duo will bring the songs of their debut album to life with the help of a local choir in each of the twelve spots they’re hitting. As Gosling and Shields explained to us, their self-titled debut (out October 6 on Anti-) was recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir. But they can’t bring all those kids on the road with them. Hence, a new group in every city. To make the experience even cooler, the opening act for the shows will be a talent show, organized by the band and featuring local talent in each city. Wow.

Damn, that is very cool. I’m hoping to be able to catch these guys on tour. If I see them in LA they’ll prolly be performing with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir and I would LOVE to see that. After the jump, check out the full list of tourdates to see if DMB will be comin’ your way …

OMG … I love that some of the venues are churches! I love what I’ve heard of Dead Man’s Bones‘s music so I’m sure their live shows will be just as entertaining. Can’t wait to see them … I’d suggest you check ‘em out if they’re comin’ your way.
